I just started using the Blue Iris IOS app and it was worth every cent! It's easily the best IOS cam management app I have used, using it in conjunction with the server of course. If you have an iDevice and use the Blue Iris PC software, you are selling yourself short if you don't have the Blue Iris IOS app.

You set the groups on the pc server....they can use the blue iris app...you can also use something free like ipcamviewer by robert chou but they will not have access to recorded video..

As fenderman has suggested, ipcamviewer is a good option. I used this app previously with a DVR setup and for a free app, it's great value. Setting up the user groups in Blue Iris, means connections are independent of the mobile client app you use. When a user connects, it is their credentials that determine their access permissions.

Do you have a statically assigned IP address or is it dynamic? ...You may need to call Comcast to find out.
If you have a Dynamic IP address you can use a service like NoIP to assign a domain name to your dynamic IP address. This will allow you to always connect to your external gateway regardless of IP address changes from your provider.
Is an app really necessary? Would it not suffice to simply give people a link to the web interface?

Can you explain in layman's terms?
Update : I could not get it to work last night due to inverting two numbers! I saw that just now. App is working now.
Spoke too soon , disabled wifi on phone unable to connect.

edit: never mind, I misread your post. carry on.
